Doesn't that just send the scroll bar to the end of the TextArea?

I'm trying to be able to scroll to a selected piece of text that may be offscreen but still somewhere in the middle of the entire text block.

Try this:

      I'm programtically selecting text in a TextArea component by calling setSelection( startIndex, endIndex ), but often times, the selection is offscreen.
     
      Is there a way to get the TextArea to scroll so the selected text is part of the displayed area?
     
      I can get the text area to scroll to the end of the text by setting vPostion = maxVpostion, but I'm not sure of a way to calculate the vPostion of currently selected text.
     
      Searching the list, I've seen solutions for doing this with a List, but not TextArea.
     
      Thanks
